St. Thomas' Episcopal Church is an inclusive and diverse Christ-centered faith community in the Episcopal (Anglican) tradition. We come from many different backgrounds and perspectives, sharing a common commitment to growing faith and love of God and neighbor. We are dedicated to knowing about Christ and making him known.
St. Thomas' is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, the largest diocese in the country. There are over 189 congregations serving under the leadership of Bishop E. Mark Stevenson. We are a middle-sized Episcopal church.
No matter your age, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and no matter where you are on your faith journey, we welcome you and invite you to participate fully in every aspect of our parish life.
We seek to be a compassionate presence in our neighborhood and at large, deepening our own faith and experience through the welcoming of newcomers and service of the poor, the hungry, the young, and all seeking wholeness of life and spirit.

The Mary Whittle Concert Series presents An Evening of Song with Georgia Rogers Farmer
Saturday, April 18 at 7:00 pm
Please join us for the next performance in the Mary Whittle Concert Series at St. Thomas' on Saturday, April 18 at 7 pm, when we will present An Evening of Song with Georgia Rogers Farmer. Georgia will take us on a joyous ride through a variety of songs encompassing genres from musical theatre to classical, pop, standards, story-songs and more. Want Dolly Parton? You've got it. How about some Puccini? Done. There will be something for everyone. She's grateful to be joined by the uber talented, hardworking musicians Joshua Wortham, Alex Kehayas, and Bentley Cobb. Not her typical cabaret, she's excited to share her voice in this concert setting. Come escape into the music and leave the church feeling fulfilled and happy.
Based in Richmond and originally from North Carolina, Georgia Rogers Farmer has over 3 decades of live performances to her credit and is also a self-proclaimed domestic goddess. Georgia has been featured in productions with Richmond Triangle Players, Virginia Repertory Theatre, Firehouse Theatre, Henrico Theatre Company, Liberty Theatre, Swift Creek Mill Theatre, HATTheatre, The North Carolina Theatre, Triad Stage, Temple Theatre and loads more. Some of her favorite roles include Nice Work If You Can Get It (Duchess), Souvenir (Florence Foster Jenkins), Kimberly Akimbo (Debra), Preludes (Dahl), The Drowsy Chaperone (Kitty), It Shoulda Been You (Jenny) and John & Jen (Jen). Her smash hit one woman cabarets include “Re-butter that Biscuit”, “Belle of the Balls”, “Horns and Corns”, “The Real Housewife of Chesterfield County” and on and on… More information can be found at georgiarogersfarmer.com.
